Trivia

Despite being a firefly, it is found all day in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, when real fireflies are nocturnal.

Volbeat has the same name of a Danish Heavy Metal band. The similarity, however, is only coincidental, as the lead singer for the band named it after an album called Vol.Beat (short for volume and beat).
